I'm not sure what exactly you want to be fixed... can you give some more detailed information?

Why did you remove the TVS? - what readings did you get with the multimeter so that you "removed" the TVS.

Is the DATA stored on your drive important? Let's say are you willing to pay at least 500 $? The way you removed the TVS is a little bit brutal ;-)

What exactly do you think what is damaged.. which solderstrip? Could you make an more detailed picture?

Greetings Benjamin

As you can see on the picture, he damaged one pad of the diode and ripped the trace of the board right to the via on the board.
Well, this is fixable, but I doubt you are able to do that, when I see your de-soldering work on the diode. I can't see, but is there a trace from the caps to the via? If not, I would take a lot of flux and put it on the via trying to get as much solder as I can into it and then create a jumper from the diode to the filled via.
